Cork board clarifies expenses situation

The Cork County Board last night clarified the situation with senior inter-county panel expenses after the Irish Examiner were informed there were several outstanding issues.

None of the senior footballers’ claims for this year’s championship have been paid but, according to county chairman Ger Lane, the board’s liaison with Peadar Healy’s panel, that is because they were received earlier this month.

It was also highlighted to this newspaper the hurlers had also trouble in obtaining their receipted expenses but that is not the case, according to Lane. “As far as I’m aware, all of the hurlers have been paid their expenses,” he said. “The footballers’ expenses for the championship were received by us on September 3 and came through the captain of the team (Paul Kerrigan). They wouldn’t have been paid as of yet and are in the process of being reviewed.
